About Factorial

Factorial is an HR solution for small to medium companies to automate administrative tasks such as documents, holidays, absences, and much more. Administrators can manage payroll and securely store important documents or offer flexible compensation and benefits for employees using a centralized dashboard. It enables stakeholders to simplify the management of absences, holidays, and sick leave within the company, enabling users to accept or reject employee time off requests, update the company’s calendar in real time, and much more. Managers can set up holidays for different regions, manage sick leaves and upload documentation, and receive notifications on any other requests or absences.

Factorial Payroll can automate the company's payroll process, taxes, social security and much more. Everything is stored in the online profile and database is regularly synchronized to apply the necessary conditions before creating the contract for every employee automatically. Additionally, any change or action on the employee status will be notified to the public entities instantly and it will also generate all the documents needed to declare taxes.

Factorial document manager securely stores all important documentation in the cloud, allowing users to attach documents that correspond to a specific employee, such as contracts, identity documents, pay slips, sick leave documents, and more.

    It has made scheduling my employees and managing their attendance so much easier. The platform is very easy to use, and I really like the functionality of notifying my employees when there are changes to their schedule.

    Pros

    What I liked the most is how easy it is to create and edit shift schedules for my employees. Also, real-time shift change notifications are a big plus.

    Cons

    The only thing I want to mention is that I would like to see more integration options with other programs and tools, but overall I am satisfied with what they offer.

    Easy Staff Managment Through Factorial

    As of now, the Factorial Application is running smoothly and meeting all desired expectations in my business unit. Staff is much pleased with the software as they no longer need to visit my office to submit their leave forms physically as the application enables them to request these through the system. Likewise, never missed my tasks and not had any arguments with my subordinates with regard to their day-offs. All the above achievements emerged thanks to Factorial Software. You will never regret owning this software because this will help to save your human assets in the company.

    Pros

    One of the best aspects of the Factorial app is its handy Dashboard. This provides a great helicopter view to senior staff with regard to identifying many activities such as upcoming events, pending tasks, upcoming holidays, and community posts. The Dashboard is in blocked shape with enlarged text, which helps users to quickly capture the eyes of the user without missing any activity! Furthermore, the users can easily install many user-friendly applications that integrate with Factorial through a few clicks. Some of the great features you can enjoy using these apps are Goals, reviews, surveys, training and etc. Another superb plus point is users can integrate the mailboxes, including outlook. If somebody thinks this is an exaggeration; I must tell you that you should try their free version before purchasing this! You will surely be mesmerized by your output!

    Cons

    So far, I did not experience any issues, since I have been using limited features yet but there are many other areas to capitalize on. There are abundant capabilities this App has but I am yet to experience any misbehaves of this app. In a nutshell, there are literally zero issues for me as of now!

    It was not good for a large organization

    Reviewed on 30/09/2022

    Pros

    To be honest, they have improved a lot since the last time I used the platform.
    Probably the part I liked the most was the Employee profile

    Cons

    The platform was not very estable when you have too many employees on it. But I used few years ago, I am sure that they have fixed a lot of the old issues

    It has only been a short period but so far the service has been excellent and we are happy with the product in general. It is still quite simple and some complexity needs to be added regarding historical data and the employee journey but this feedback has been shared and is being actioned.

    Pros

    The day-to-day operational features are easy for users and administrators. Eg. clock-in, time off, employee directory, org chart, viewing and sharing documents, announcements, etc.

    Cons

    The product is still in its early stages. It needs more depth regarding employee historical data (eg. changes of position and manager). The reporting could be a bit more automated but the Customer Success team has been very useful to guide regarding any doubts.

    Very happy with the functionalities we need

    Reviewed on 13/08/2020

    Pros

    We use Factorial for
    Time tracking
    holiday compensation & tracking
    Team availability & holiday schedules
    Office information
    Those features we are using are working very well and are very easy to use, as an end-user but also on the administration part.
    Using a cloud-based solution is definitively the best approach.

    Cons

    We have seen some periods where the application was out-of -service
    We need to be able to add hours of holidays (for compensation of extra-hours) and the product is limiting us to half-days
